President Obama announced new efforts today to reduce the burden of student debt. He’ll issue an executive order that caps payments to 10 percent of the borrower’s income. But how much will this action help? And with more than one trillion dollars now tied up in student debt, what will this mean for our economy?

A civilian Police Commission kicks off hearings this week on whether or not to keep Police Chief Charlie Beck on for another five years. Crime has been down during his tenure and complaints against officers are down as well. So why is a civilian Police Commission even necessary?

On today’s TV roundup, Game of Thrones is the most popular HBO drama of all time, viewers emerge from an Orange is the New Black weekend binge and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson has a new drama on Starz called Power.
